[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

  • localname
    Type: System. . :: . .String
    The string to match against the LocalName property of the element found.

Type: System. . :: . .Boolean
true if the resulting node is an element. false if a node type other than XmlNodeType.Element was found or if the LocalName and NamespaceURI properties of the element do not match the specified strings.

Remarks

This method skips white space, comments, and processing instructions until the reader is positioned on a content node. The method then tests if the current node is an element.
